(Reuters) January 2012 - A collapse of the euro and break-up of
the European Union would have catastrophic consequences for the global
financial system, billionaire investor George Soros was quoted as saying.

"Today, the euro is potentially endangering the political cohesion
of the European Union," the Business Line newspaper cited Soros as
saying.

"If the common currency were to break down, it will lead to the
break up of the European Union itself. And this will be catastrophic
not only for Europe but also for the global financial system."

(Reading between the lines - It would have a catastrophic effect
on his global financial manipulations!)

The euro zone crisis is "more serious and more threatening than
the crash of 2008," the Economic Times reported, quoting Soros.

In the near term, some of the euro zone countries (but, not me)
may have to take more austerity measures because of the imbalances
between the "creditor and the debtor countries," Soros said at a
business school event.

"Unfortunately, they haven't yet solved the acute financial
crisis and that is causing the situation to deteriorate...and it
is not at all clear it will have a solution." Soros said.

("OH!; by the way, is anyone interested in buying billions of
worthless Euros/Dollars that I will sell you for ten times the amount
that I paid for them?") (George Soros)

In these continuing articles it is my intention to explain how
both parties, Democrat and Republican, have corrupted our
economic system by selling their allegiances to the highest
bidders!

Ask the Politically Correct!

Question:

What was "Manifest Destiny"?

Politically Correct Resolution:

Manifest Destiny was the 19th century American belief
that the United States was destined to expand across
the North American continent, from the Atlantic Seaboard
to the Pacific Ocean. It was used by Democrats in the
1840s to justify the war with Mexico; the concept was
denounced by Whigs (Republicans), and fell into disuse
after the mid-19th century.

Advocates of Manifest Destiny believed that expansion
was not only wise but that it was readily apparent
(manifest) and inexorable (destiny).

The concept of American expansion is much older, but
John L. O'Sullivan coined the exact term "Manifest Destiny"
in the July/August 1845 issue of the United States Magazine
and Democratic Review in an article titled "Annexation."
It was primarily used by Democrats to support the expansion
plans of the Polk Administration, but the idea of expansion
faced opposition from Whigs like Henry Clay, Daniel Webster,
and Abraham Lincoln (the first Republican President) who wanted
to deepen the economy rather than broaden its expanse. John C.
Calhoun was a notable Southern Democrat who generally opposed
his party on the issue, which fell out of favor by 1860.

Thus, the Civil War where the South wanted to retain there unpaid
employees (Slaves) and the North wanted to take advantage of this
cheap labor source (New Slavery). Gee! that is same thing they are
doing today. Moving jobs overseas to take advantage of cheap labor
sources in foreign countries. In addition, the Southern Plantation
owners were shipping, mainly Cotton and Tobacco, directly
overseas and Northern factions wanted their cut of these
actions. During the Civil War there were Northern Suppliers
to both the North and South who made fortunes on "Hedging their
Investments". What happened after the South Lost? Northern
factions moved in and took over the vanquished plantations and
many freed? slaves moved north and took low paying manufacturing
jobs. Oh! what a coincident! The argument between secession and
slavery as the cause for this war still continues.

Manifest Destiny was always a general notion rather than
a specific policy. The term combined a belief in expansionism
with other popular ideas of the era, including American
exceptionalism, Romantic nationalism, and a belief in the
natural superiority of people of English descent. While
many writers focus primarily upon American expansionism
when discussing Manifest Destiny, others see in the term
a broader expression of a belief in America's "mission"
in the world, which has meant different things to different
people over the years. (Although, Manifest Destiny was aimed
at Nationalism it was the beginning of it's eventual goal of
internationalism).

The belief in an American mission to promote and defend
democracy throughout the world (Internationalism), as
expounded by Abraham Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson, continues
to have an influence on today's American political ideology.

WHEN VOTING FOR THE LESSER OF THE TWO EVILS
YOU ARE STILL VOTING FOR EVIL! (LDO)

We Americans travel down three roads:
The Left, The Middle, and The Right.
Most of us travel on the middle road.
Those on the left and right roads play
those on the middle road against one
another to entice them to join them on
their road. Somewhere along these
three roads is a crossover bridge (Congress)
that connects the left and right roads.
Where the left and right meet to plan
how to entice those on the middle road
to join them on their roads. They decide
by throwing a few blades of grass into the
air to see which way the wind is blowing.
For the previous few years the wind has
been blowing to the left. Today, the wind
is blowing to the right. If you have notice
the wind has never blown toward the middle.
I guess if it did, it would create a whirlwind
that Congress could not control.

There is no doubt in my mind that we do
need a viable third party. One that can't be
corrupted by either the left or the right.
A party that's Energized for Action!

The original TEA Party was Energized for
Action due to taxation without representation
by the King of England and his cohorts.

Today we have taxation with representation;
but, only for special interests! (both the left
and right have made it so)

To change either party from within is an
effort of futility. The powers that are will
never allow it.

Myself, I refuse to be a (Fellow Traveler) on
either the left or the right roads. I will
continue down the middle road.
